Basic tools for the home

[Richard Tanner]

Thanks for the comments. Now this might be a dumb question. Is it all metric? Does whitworth and AF still exist? Yes, it's brilliant having a second bike, especially the other week when the R3 had a puncture. No tyres in Hong Kong so had to wait and get them from the UK.

yes it is all metric except some of the chrome non genuine made in the USA parts

Just a thought, I dont purchase tool kits, I find you spend more money on lower quality tools and end up with a bunch of stuff you never use...hope that makes sence. When I get ready to do a job on anything mechanical, I do a little reasearch on what I will need to get it done and then I go and purchase only the tools I need for that job. I find I can spend a little extra on the tools this way and end up with better quality. Over time my tool collection has grown substantially, but, I use all of them and they have never failed me. If your making a wish list, dont forget to acquire a basic multimeter as well.

Cheers

Great advice!

Start with these -

Eh? - Where's the Stilson? - And you call yourself an engineer. Pah!

One VERY important tool - A MANUAL.
